"Ancient Rising is a non-stop thrill ride through the world of the ancients." "This audio production of Ancient Rising is touted as a '3-D Audiobook Experience.' I was pretty curious about that; what is a 3-D audiobook anyway? Well, it didn’t take me long to find out. Ancient Rising is performed, and I do mean performed, by long-time theater and radio talent Joe Bevilacqua. Don’t confuse him with other Joe Bevilacqua’s, the name is Joe K Bevilacqua. Joe does great voices for all the characters, and the whole thing is recorded in stereo. The main narration comes through the center channel as usual, but the character voices, along with sound effect enhancements, come from the left or right channels, giving the audiobook a real 3-D feel. With Joe’s voices, the sound enhancements, and the 3-D recording, this is a top-notch audio production. Ancient Rising is a non-stop thrill ride through the world of the ancients. I found De La Torre’s blend of history and mythology to be fascinating and compelling. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with this one." |
"Kids will immediately identify with the funny and crazy voices of Joe and Lorie. I always get a kick out of listening to them myself; they always remind me of the Saturday morning cartoons I used to watch as a kid." "Spanish children’s author Pedro Pablo Sacristan is back with 10 more of his delightful children’s stories, all translated into English. And appropriate for the season, these ten stories all have a Halloween theme. Goblins, ghosts, witches, fairies, and monsters abound in these silly and scary tales that will become instant favorites with children and parents alike. "These stories are narrated by the husband and wife team of Lorie Kellogg and Joe Bevilacqua. This is exactly the kind of work these two were made for. Kids will immediately identify with the funny and crazy voices of Joe and Lorie. I always get a kick out of listening to them myself; they always remind me of the Saturday morning cartoons I used to watch as a kid. - Click to read the full

"Your children will delight in these winsome and fanciful tales." "From Joe Bevilacqua and Waterlogg Productions, comes this charming collection of 25 Spanish Children’s Stories by Pedro Pablo Sacristan. I was kind of curious to know what kind of fairy tales Spanish children listen to, but guess what, they’re very much like the fairy tales that any other children listen to. It just goes to show you, people are people no matter where they are. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. |
Daws Butler’s Halloween Happening "If you haven’t heard these two at work, you’re missing out on something special." "If there was an award for best husband and wife narrating team, I think the clear winners would be Joe Bevilacqua and Lorie Kellogg. Come to think of it, why isn’t there an award for best husband and wife narrating team? Somebody needs to look into that. Anyway, individually, Joe an Lorie are both extremely talented voice artists. They can both do lots of entertaining voices, not just characterizations but whole personalities, and they both have a fine flair for drama, satire, and comedy. Put them together and, well, need I say more? If you haven’t heard these two at work, you’re missing out on something special. - Click to read the full

"Fans of the legendary figure of Sherlock Holmes are sure to get a kick out of this." "Fans of the legendary figure of Sherlock Holmes are sure to get a kick out of this. Arthur Conan Doyle spent many years recounting the adventures of the world’s greatest detective, but now the truth is revealed. In these dramatic and hilarious episodes, we find an aging Dr. Watson, finally setting the record straight in the form of his personal journal. |
"This is 5 hours of listening pleasure that you won’t regret." "Any cartoon fan can recognize Daws Butler's multitude of voices, but few know of his writing. Butler, a purveyor of witty wordplay and twisty tales, will surprise and amuse readers. These stories now come to life as told by the hilarious Joe Bevilacqua, man of 97 voices!" (Linda Simensky, Senior Director of Programming for PBS Kids) " It all started with Daws Butler - actor, writer, teacher - writing Uncle Dunkle and Donnie children's stories with exquisite, sophisticated humor but always resonating with gentle and subtle lessons in morality. Then came Joe Bevilacqua - also and actor, writer and producer - vocally bringing to life all of the charming characters in the Daws Butler book. Reading and listening to Uncle Dunkle and Donnie is a delightful experience that you and your family can and will enjoy!" (June Foray, legendary voice actress whose characters include Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Witch Hazel, and Granny) "In Uncle Dunkle and Donnie, Joe Bevilacqua conducts an absolute clinic on the art of voice acting. Bevilacqua voices all 97 of the characters in these 35 episodes. His voices are unique and are delivered flawlessly. And he also writes stories and music! This is quite a talented guy. As with Joe Bev’s other Waterlogg Productions, the music and sound effects are well done, and the sound quality is very good. Hey, do yourself a favor, and take a break from the murder mysteries and vampire stories for a while. Sit back and let the old pros entertain you. This is 5 hours of listening pleasure that you won’t regret." |
"If you yearn for simpler times and your moral compass is set straight, you’ll definitely enjoy this new collection from Waterlogg Prod.. Give it a try!" "The enthusiasm of the writers and their respect for the period is infectious." (Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine) "Joe Bevilacqua is an amazingly talented actor and producer who brings these stories to life! You will think you are listening to actual old time radio!" (Jim Harmon, OTR historian and author) "Are you a fan of old-time radio? Do you wish they were still making those wonderful programs so you wouldn’t have to keep listening to the same old episodes again and again? Do you poop out at parties? Do you wish I would stop asking so many questions? Well wish no more o traveler of the airwaves. From Joe Bevilacqua and his Waterlogg Productions, the vita-veeta-vegemin of old-time radio, comes this echo from a bygone era. |
"We’re talking three hours of non-stop laughs here. "Fans of old-time radio classics are in for a real treat. From Joe Bevilacqua and his Waterlogg Productions, makers of the hilarious Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes, and Uncle Dunkle and Donnie, comes volume 2 in the Best of the Comedy-o-Rama Hour. And it couldn’t come at a better time. The current trend in audiobooks is the revitalization of the classic radio program, and all the publishers are doing it. From Doc Savage, to The Black Mask, to NPR’s Car Talk, it seems that America is rediscovering the joys of the spoken word. And Joe Bev is adding some very worthwhile products to the market. Old-time Radio Parodies is up to the usual Waterlogg Productions high standards, featuring a full cast of talented voice actors, and cinema quality music and sound effects. I promise you’ll never be disappointed with how a Waterlogg Production sounds. They even have parodies of commercials like Shouty-O’s (shout for Shouty-O’s!) cereal, and Blue Coal Tires (the only tires you can burn in your furnace after they go flat). We’re talking three hours of non-stop laughs here. Don’t miss out!" |
